Off-Road Driving
We’ll teach you how to tackle a gradient, how to approach a side slope and how to make the most of your wheel articulation and drivetrain technology. By the time we are done, your knowledge will have been ratcheted up a gear. As they say: Knowledge is Power!

Emphasis:
Off-road driving principles and techniques. Understanding vehicle technology and limitations, and the application and advantages of Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive in the off-road context. Safety, and how to enjoy taking to the dirt without putting yourself and your family at risk.
Benefits:
Off-road driving is tremendous fun, but people often learn by trial and error. Because you’ll be able to identify potentially hazardous situations, or obstacles which will result in damage to your vehicle, you’ll know how best to proceed. Subaru has an extensive range of lifestyle products and you’ll know the capabilities of your one, or, if you’re in the market, which one will suit your needs best.
Overview:
We’ll teach you how to tackle gradients, how to approach a side slope, and how to make the most of the vehicle’s wheel articulation and drivetrain technology. By the time we’re done, your knowledge will have been ratcheted up a gear, and as they say, knowledge is power. We hope you don’t need to use them too often, but we’ll also teach the basics of vehicle recovery specific to the Subaru brand (equipment, techniques and safety) and you may even be able to use them to rescue other travellers.
